Having seen spoilery photos for the Project Runway final collections, I have a few comments:
1. With collections like that, Laura will win. Hers is lovely and elegant and there isn't a thing in it I wouldn't wear, which is the same thing I said about Jay's collection in the first season.
2. Having said that, WOW. She just swelled right the hell up, didn't she? Good for her. :)
3. Uli's collection is my second favorite. Yes, she had to have a halter dress, but the rest of that is pretty and flowy and gorgeous.
4. Having said that, who the hell did she kill to get Nazri?!
5. Oh, Michael. On second thought, maybe she didn't kill anyone to get Nazri. Maybe Michael gets eliminated next episode and this is his idea of revenge, or maybe he develops Daniel V. disease and gets cocky. What happened to the guy who just incidentally designed hip-hop outfits?
6. I like Jeffrey's collection. It's not my favorite, but it's not awful. It's weird, but that's his thing, I guess. At least with a collection like that, he probably won't win.

She'd better win, since her designs are way nicer than the others, IMO. Also, go pregnant woman! ::grin::
Jeffrey makes me homicidal like Stephen from Top Chef. Ugh. And I don't like his clothing at all.

They look like there should something underneath, and then the wearer would look pregnant. But this was clearly a baby doll - tight on top, looser on bottom with no waistline - that worked. I think it was because even the bottom was tailored and elegant - just like Laura herself. And, yes, the neckline was different and it worked and it was adorable, which was the effect she was going for. And she made a lovely little clutch, too. She and Michael had the right idea about what to do with the scraps.

(And wow, these collections are all so much better than last season's.)

Date: 2006-09-15 10:09 pm (UTC)2. i am bummed that michael suddenly seems to have, i dunno, DIED and been replaced by a clone who is, hm. far less classy. i like this (http://cache.gettyimages.com/xc/71896331.jpg?v=1&c=MS_GINS&k=2&d=17A4AD9FDB9CF193875DCB1DD8387ABBE5B48841C197CE61) an absurd amount, but the rest of his collection? yeah, it looks very j-lo.
3. oh, uli. you very much have a strong, um, shall we call it a single minded vision? i can't say that i'm very fond of the whole slit down the front look, but my two favorite pieces of any of the collections are these (http://cache.gettyimages.com/xc/71895752.jpg?v=1&c=MS_GINS&k=2&d=17A4AD9FDB9CF193875DCB1DD8387ABB80E851FFEF189686) two (http://cache.gettyimages.com/xc/71895753.jpg?v=1&c=MS_GINS&k=2&d=17A4AD9FDB9CF193875DCB1DD8387ABB0E3CD68876EE6F3D), which i think is really a testiment to how amazing she is with patterns, omg.
